pulses.

food texture.

cheese) cut into 1-inch cubes.

Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller amounts per batch.

The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let blades stop completely between pulses.

You may be processing too much food. Turn the machine off. When the blades stop rotating, remove the power head and the splash guard. Remove some of the food being processed.

Do not use ice that has been sit ting out or has started to melt. Be sure to use short pulses in the beginning to break up large pieces.
